Rational Agency from a Truth-Functional Perspective
The aim of the present paper is to introduce a system, where the epistemic state of an agent is represented truth-functionally. In order to obtain this system, we propose a four-valued logic, that we call the logic of ra...
Category Free Category Theory and Its Philosophical Implications
There exists a dispute in philosophy, going back at least to Leibniz, whether is it possible to view the world as a network of relations and relations between relations with the role of objects, between which these relat...
Sweet SIXTEEN: Automation via Embedding into Classical Higher-Order Logic
An embedding of many-valued logics based on SIXTEEN in classical higher-order logic is presented. SIXTEEN generalizes the four-valued set of truth degrees of Dunn/Belnap’s system to a lattice of sixteen truth degrees wit...
Mereology and Infinity
This paper deals with the treatment of infinity and finiteness in mereology. After an overview of some first-order mereological theories, finiteness axioms are introduced along with a mereological definition of “x is fin...
Sequents for non-wellfounded mereology
The paper explores the proof theory of non-wellfounded mereology with binary fusions and provides a cut-free sequent calculus equivalent to the standard axiomatic system.
